Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for hinging a door of a built-in household electrical appliance, such as an upright refrigerator, to a door panel of a furniture item housing the door panel, the door panel being in a position corresponding with said door.
  • a double-parallelogram hinge which on opening the door panel of the furniture item causes this panel to undergo an initial movement parallel to itself so as to separate it from the door of the appliance (for example an upright refrigerator), after which it allows both the door panel and the refrigerator door to rotate about relative hinging points.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device of the aforesaid type which is of simple, low-cost construction and allows maximum utilization of the space housing the appliance.
  • FIGS. 1 and 4 show a built-in upright refrigerator positioned within a furniture item, for example a kitchen unit, and provided with doors 3 and 4 in positions corresponding with usual preservation compartments of the appliance.
  • the furniture item 2 comprises three walls 5, 6 and 7 defining a compartment 3 housing the refrigerator 1; this compartment is closed on its free side by door panels 10 and 11 in positions corresponding with the appliance doors 3 and 4.
  • Each door panel is connected to the relative door by a hinging device 13 according to the invention.
  • This latter comprises a body 14 fixed, in known manner, on one side 14A to the wall 5 of the furniture item 2 and on another side 14B to the refrigerator cabinet 15 (alternatively the body 14 can be fixed to the furniture item or to the appliance).
  • the body 14 comprises at least one projecting flange 17 (two superimposed in the figures); with that flange close to the refrigerator door there is associated a pin 18 arranged to cooperate with the door 3 or 4 of the refrigerator 1, to form a hinge to enable said door to open and close.
  • the pin 18 extends perpendicularly from the lower face 20 (with reference to Figure 2) of the flange 17.
  • a guide projection 21 projecting from a face 22 of its side 14A.
  • This projection is arranged to cooperate, in order to guide its movement along the face 22, with a terminal element 23 of a hinging member 24 by means of a screw (not shown) enabling this member and said body to be associated with each other in an adjustable manner.
  • the screw is arranged to cooperate with a slot 28 provided in the element 23 and with a hole 29 provided in the guide projection 21.
  • the hinging member 24 which is preferably a usual furniture hinge used in the furnishing field, comprises a known elastic return element 30 (comprising for example an elastic strip or an articulated quadrilateral of known construction and form) associated with a terminal member 31 fixed to the door panel 10 or 11.
  • the return element 30 enables the door panel 10 or 11 to open and close automatically without the aid of the user, when the door panel exceeds a dead point during its movement (for example as shown in Figure 4).
  • Each door panel 10, 11 also comprises an outer face 22 (with respect to the compartment) on which there is preferably provided a handle, board or the like 34, and an inner face 35 facing the corresponding refrigerator door.
  • the inner face 35 supports a substantially L-shaped guide 38 arranged to slidingly cooperate with a slide (of complementary form) fixed to the refrigerator door. Finally, this latter supports usual seal elements 40 and an inner liner 41.
  • the door 3 By pulling the handle 34 of the door panel 10, the door 3 is opened by rotating the door panel about the member 24 and specifically about usual hinging points (not shown but schematically indicated by 100 in Figures 4 and 5). This movement drags the door 3 open by the cooperation between the guide 38 and the slide 36. The door rotates about the pin 18 shown in the figures (and about an analogous pin of a device 13, not shown, provided at the bottom of the door 3) to open and provide access to the preservation compartment closed by said door.
  • the door 3 and the corresponding door panel are closed by operating in the opposite manner.
  • opening the door panel 10 causes it in known manner to initially separate from the wall 5 of the furniture item 2 (see Figure 4) to allow easy opening of the door 3; in contrast when the door panel 10 is reclosed it becomes positioned in proximity to said wall (see Figure 3) to result in perfect sealing of the door 3 against the refrigerator cabinet 15.
  • the device 13 is of simple construction and of considerably less cost than analogous known devices, this deriving in particular from the use of a hinging member 24 of wide commercial use in the furnishing field.
